THE A-11 Origin
A foundational piece, the A-11 Origin was an initial attempt to provide a well rounded affordable field watch that allowed us to reach new audiences. Equipped originally with a Swiss-Made Ronda quartz movement, the A-11 Origin came in a 40mm diameter and was the “affordable” little brother of our iconic A-11 Tom Rice.

A-11 Combat
A test piece for us; the A-11 Combat paved the way to our A-11 Type 44. Coming in at a 32mm diameter, the A-11 Combat featured the original size of WW2-era A-11s. Coupled with a Ronda Quartz, the A-11 Combat showed us that there was a clear appetite in the community for a well rounded 32mm field watch; just like they used to make them in the 1940s.

A-11 Marston Mat
This limited edition was the most ambitious project we had ever undertook at the time. Featuring a reworked piece of a D-Day Marston Mat, this watch solidified Praesidus as an authentic watch brand capable of producing truly unique watches. Equipped with a Swiss-made P024 movement; the Marston Mat also showed us that the community was ready to trust us with higher end watches and designs. The first 100 pieces sold-out in under 24 hours. The last 50 pieces came in end of January 2023 and sold-out early February. Truly a victim of its success; we’ll be making more unique pieces with a similar direction soon.
